Drug a 51 home for the 2 speed and other...
Bought this 51 to get the 2 speed. My friend had a lot of neat Fords out at one of his shops.
My other friend wanted the rest of the 51. I will work on the 2 speed later, have to finish up the engine and transmission install on my 41.

Hi Guys,
A fresh motor and a two speed is what I need! I figured out what my rear end ratio is- it's the 6.67. Between that and the engine seeming a little tired, I don't go anywhere too quickly.
Is the lug nut pattern the same on the later trucks as the '41? In other words, its a bolt-in modification? Just swapping in and out? Or do you have to change hubs and brake drums? Also, how is a two speed shifted in the cab? Where is the actuator lever?
I guess its something that should come home if I'm lucky enough to find one!

I have found that if the rear ends are left uncovered by the truck bed water can get into the seal around the part that sticks up out of the pumpkin, over time this can really mess up the innards. I have not pulled my new 2 speed apart to figure out the ratios yet, hoping for the higher, big gamble.

Just trying to figure out my '41, 1.5 ton. I've looked at your posts and pictures a thousand times! Not doing a whole lot to it anytime soon- no big repairs or rebuilds. I need to look at the parking brake next. Not much holding power there! Hopefully a band relining will do it. And front tires are a must this year.
The 1920 is the year of my Model T pick-up. I'm good with the T's, but I'm all new to the flathead era. This forum is great since there isn't a lot of heavy ford truck knowledge around locally.

I hear you on the T's, had a bunch myself. I posted this one on an earlier thread. I just brought it home recently. Been in my friend's family for years.

Yes, I saw that. That ones a beauty! You can't beat em' when their original. People forget, or don't even realize, that the Model T liberated this country from the horse and buggy!
No offense to the horse owners on this forum. I like horses too. Lol.
